They realized they might be able to shave off even more weight and improve performance by replacing the aluminum braces with a continuous-fiber composite if they could find a material with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, high flexural stiffness, good torsional rigidity, and superior fatigue strength.
The Impact
Finding ways to reduce weight is a high priority for vehicle manufacturers, because lighter weight corresponds to better fuel efficiency for gas-powered vehicles and more miles per charge for electric cars.
